Pastoral Care and Counseling

We offer biblically-based pastoral counseling services to the adults of our North family.

Our ministry network is comprised of pastoral counselors, volunteers, and lay leaders. If our counseling center is unable to meet your needs, or has availability constraints, we will refer you to other community services.

Counseling Services

Services for mental illness, addiction, behavioral problems, marital conflicts, or parenting issues from the support of professional pastoral counselors.

Bereavement

HOPE Ministry

Do not go it alone during stressful life events such as divorce, serious illness, or the death of a loved one. Get the support of a trained HOPE Minister who will provide the support, comfort and compassion of a Christian friend.

Visitation Ministry

Do you know someone who is in the hospital or is scheduled for surgery? Are you aware of someone who is in a nursing home or is a rehab resident who would benefit from a visit? Let us know and we’ll schedule a visitation from one of our support volunteers to provide prayer and words of comfort.

Ways to Serve

HOPE Minister

Become a trained comfort-giver matched with a person who is overwhelmed during a challenging life season. Partner assignments last according to need and can vary from a day to a few months or a year. Training is offered once a year.

Pastoral Care Assistant

“… He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. …”

Respond to God’s love by spending time with Him. Loving God is all about falling in love with Him more and more through spiritual growth.

Take time daily to read your Bible, pray, and spend time with God.

Worship God with us on Sunday morning at 9:30 or 11am.

The Exchanged Life Model

The term “Exchanged Life” is directly related to the believer’s discovery of their identity in Christ. The believer is a new creation; one born of God. What was once true is no longer true. The old is gone and the new has come.

To elaborate further, we believe that the believer partakes of eternal life (Christ’s Life) at the time of new birth, that identification with Christ in His crucifixion, burial, resurrection, and ascension brought the death of the “old man” and the life of the “new man.”

This may become experiential reality through a decision to lose one’s life (total surrender) and to appropriate the Christ life by faith, and is continuously revealed by abiding in the Spirit. Exchanged life living, is Christ living His life through the believer by the believer’s faith and obedience to the Holy Spirit.
